TVIRL now supports Channel Grouping in Live Channels

by wealthyboris

Said I'd mention it, but TVIRL (backend for the Live Channels app) now supports Channel Groupings!!!! I've done up a guide on the entire process. (I'm using Vaders & xtream-editor for the arranging of my channels/groups)

Guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bxahYWlmW2sVPTwmFLso6YDbgL8equWui7vj-xZ2TLc/edit?usp=sharing

FYI the dev for TVIRL is on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TVirl_app

Sweet. Let's hope for EPG auto refresh soon and this will be perfect!

I wish they'd add support for a wider range of tuners before anything else.

without EPG auto refresh, this app is still a pain in the ass.

Thanks for this... I am entirely interested. I will be reading your write up!

...Question please - does Live Channels/TVIRL support individual channel time shifting?

Vaders no longer works with Xtream-editor I htought? Guide might be outdated. I moved to epg-iptv which just released their first Android TV app this week as well.

I noticed that channels with no program guide information like 24/7 channels, sports tickets do not show up in the designated categories. Seems to be guide information is required of Live Channels in order to use Categories.

I can't get this working no matter what i try. Any help wealthyboris?

Is there anything that will allow iptv channel numbers to be mapped so that they are integrated in Live Channels instead grouped by source? I know you can do this in Plex now, but their grid guide and general crumby UI leave much to be desired. There just doesn't appear to be any holy grail. I'm tired of using 3 apps for tv(plex dvr, Live Channels, IPTV Extreme)

Hi, I'm using tvirl, with a m3u list, but on live channels the separate groups do not appear.

Live Channels doesn't support channels groups, so for now this makes TVirl pretty much useless application.

It's impossible to watch 5000+ channels on a single list, instead of channels groups.

Nobody is comfortable to use Xtream editor (paid software) and edit everything manually.

There's a better application: TiviMate. This app has channels grouping, auto update and it works perfectly.
